I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.5 onto a Lenovo Yogi 260 laptop.
I can't get the laptop to boot off the DVD.
I had a DVD for 14.04.1 and it will boot fine, but when I try to install Ubuntu I get a blank screen (after the splash screen sits there forever). We tracked that down to the kernel being 4.1 and apparently we need it to be 4.3 due to the video display driver on the Lenovo.
I talked myself into using Ubuntu 16.04.3 instead, since I had to download an installation image anyway, and was able to install it. But (as has happened every other time I've tried to run stuff on a later version of Linux) I can't install the software because of dependency problems.
So, fine. I figured I would just go ahead and download 14.04.5 and install it since our other machine that has programs we need on it is running that distribution. Burned the DVD the same way I did the 16.04.3 distro. The machine won't boot off it. Burned a second DVD from a fresh download and got the same result.
So any suggestions on how I can get this version of Ubuntu installed on this machine?
